This is why I’ve always done both.
Clients really do want some therapeutic touch when they’re paying for treatment.

💡 Both classical massage and placebo massage (with conventional physiotherapy) reduced pain and disability, and improved mobility compared to pre-treatment. However, only conventional physiotherapy plus classical massage improved QoL in NCLBP patients.

𝐄𝐥𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨 & 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 - 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐥 - opposite The Gym - free parking on-site

We use ‘Rock-pods’ in clinic as part of a useful treatment called ‘𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲’ They are made from medical grade silicone and enable the therapist to grab, pull and push fascia to treat mobility and movement dysfunctions.

Cupping increases blood circulation at the point of the injury/pain. The increased circulation helps to unlock myofascial tension and can promote cell repair through improved blood flow.

In this particular case it was used as part of a more comprehensive treatment for a patient who was recovering from a long term illness. The lack of mobility had caused her to develop pain and stiffness in her back and rib area.

If you want to know more about 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 and how it might benefit you then give Matt a call or message via the website www.elgarphysio.com or Facebook Elgar Physio & Sports Massage - Bracknell. 01344-507400
